I'm curious as to what tail you plan on getting? You may want to use this tail maker map/guide I just created. Oh! It looks like Foxmoon tails are in your state! They are one of the longest running and first mermaid tail companies! But feel free to go with whatever maker you want to.

I was going to try and make it myself as I'm just starting out:/

If you haven't sewn anything or drafted a pattern before I'd really suggest buying one at first. You can get nice first tails for under $200 including a monofin!
As a college student can personally tell you that your tail won't fit in your dorm. There is simply not enough space, what space you do have you are going to want for more practical things. IMO you should wait to bring the tail up, get settled then if you decide you have room, bring it. You need to consider where will you use it up there and when (you will probably be much busier then you think) and where you are going to rinse it and dry it. If I end up needing my tail for gigs during the year (went "pro" this summer yay!) I plan on keeping mine in my car and my roommate happens to be my best friend and help me out during gigs so she is very understanding of the whole tail situation. Feel free to message me with questions
Yeah, if you want to make a tail out of fabric, definitely get some practice. I made pillows, quilts, pajama pants, hand bags, and even a little vest before venturing out to sew a tail that fit me. You also can end up spending quite a bit on fabric or other material. Buying a tail is definitely the best way to go in your situation.
All that glitters is not gold,
Not all who wander are lost.
The old that is strong does not whither,
Deep roots are not touched by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be broken,
A light from the shadows shall spring.
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.
I've sewn various things, but I want a professional stitch.... Like the ones sewing machines have:/ I also do theatre, so I should have access to a sewing machine fairly easily, as I know they'll have them at the college

Yup! Also, if you want a much smoother, 'professional' looking stitch, you're at a university! There must be someone who can sew well. Ask someone for help if want to. Make sure if you are doing fabric to use a zigzag stitch. Otherwise it won't stretch on the sides.
